So I assume you're looking at post-secondary education. How do you feel about getting heavily indebted before even getting a job? In Canada, university tuition is heavily subsidized to make it more affordable to the common man. Just compare tuition costs between Canada and the US. Are you saying that you'd rather be paying 5 figure tuitions towards a degree that is essential in the job market? Is that reasonable, fair?

Say you're one of the lucky few that has a mommy and daddy with deep pockets and you don't have to worry about this. Do you want to live in a country where proper education is unaffordable? How would that impact society in general, how would that impact you?

Derp, I thought you meant 6 figures. My mistake.

How did you mistake 5 for 6 when you quoted "5 figures," and then typed it out again...

And anyway, there are many courses which cost over $100,000. Or if you want to include courses where you would need more than one degree to even have a chance at a job in that field, there are even more.
